After years of going into one of our local shops, which sells victoriana, and harping at the owner about mislabelling her lace, the owner has asked me to come and actually identify the stuff. (called putting my money where my mouth is, calling my bluff etc. ) That shouldn't be too much of a problem really except for one type of little doily of which she seems to get quite a few. The doilies are very nicely made, nothing like the chinese variety. The style is Cluny but one thing puzzles me. The pattern is basically big scallop motifs, little scallops around the edge, plaits, and a fan of 6 leaves attached to the footside, or centre in this case.. all making the one big scallop shape. It's a fairly common design anyway. What's odd about it is that the fans of leaves are hand sewn separately onto the footside. The plaits are worked in normally though. Has anyone seen this before?
